ArnoHollosi: Re: Link to JPG won't work? (2018-01-25 09:29) [#11070]

Robert,

indeed, linking to other images doesn't work.

The reason is that for parsing the "link=" URL the engine uses its standard URL parser (that also understands camelcase wiki links etc.) and then checks afterwards if that parser produced a real link.

When you link to an image the parser produces an inline image tag. The check then fails (image produced instead of link) and you get the error message about the invalid link address.

Is there a usecase where you would like to link to an image? I could change the behaviour of the final check.

Meanwhile (as the parser is rather dumb) there is a workaround: append a question mark at the end of the link URL:

{{:img
| goban
|      http://senseis.xmp.net/images/goban-alignright.jpg
| link=http://senseis.xmp.net/images/goban-alignright.jpg?
}}
